Back Home and Preparing for our TRIP

I can't believe that I have been so long without posting to my Blog.

But ..... I do have an excuse, if you will allow me.

Right
after the last post, I went through a series of physical problems that
sapped my desire to write. I say physical problems and not illness'
because I wasn't realy sick the whole time, I just went from one probem
to another.

First, we had arrived in the TT-Clermont FL
campground, and I got food poisoning at a local restaurant ..... twice
in two weeks. Each time, I had the typical symptoms of nausea and
diarrhea. This, of course, screwed my system up, and I went into several
days of Gout.

Now Gout, is very painful, and really
restricts your movements. And the cure, for me as a transplant
recipient, is the drug Colcisine. A regimen of this pill also makes you
sick and gives you a strong case of diarrhea for several days.

Perhaps
you now see the trend here? A lot of Nausea and Diarrhea. Great for
weight loss, but it really makes you weak and lethargic.

Add
to this the fact that I am a new Diabetic, and I spent the time at
campgrounds, sitting in the RV, sick and taking my appropriate drugs for
the symptoms of the day.

Now, during this time, I did
have a day or two at a time that I didn't hurt, but never really got my
strength back, or my desire to write.

Well, we finally
returned to our home in MB, and I have my strength back, along with a
clear non-drug-befuddled head. So, I am giving this update to our
travels. There were several interesting things that happened that I will
write about in the next few days, along with our planning process for a
short summer trip in May-June. And, I really do have to start the
process of planning our West Coast trip.
